Lakeview Area – Predicted PM2.5 Concentrations from Rollback and Dispersion Modeling Results August 22, 2013
Background • Conduct a rollback analysis and air dispersion modeling • Part of a larger picture to identify a source’s contribution to high PM2.5 concentrations • Rollback modeling estimates concentrations using emissions data and a distance weighting factor • Emission Inventory Modeling = Future estimated concentrations at the monitor and the area around the monitor • Helps us determine whether Lakeview will meet the standard in 2019
Initial Rollback Modeling Results • If everything remains the same, Lakeview is not anticipated to meet the standard
Weighted Emissions Inventory Results – Contributing Sources (2019)
Potential Reduction Scenarios Remove all uncertified stoves and replace with certified stoves Remove all uncertified stoves and replace with heat pumps Enhanced public awareness and education Mandatory woodstove curtailment program
Uncertified Woodstoves • How many uncertified woodstoves are in the Lakeview area (2013)? • ~154 uncertified devices in UGB • ~256 uncertified devices in SPZ • Includes recent changeouts from Department of Energy/Department of Housing funds administered by SCOEDD
Options to consider • What is the target planning threshold to meet for PM2.5 concentration? • Current standard – 35 ug/m3 • Other value to provide additional buffer– 30 ug/m3? • Do you want an interim year in the planning horizon (2017)?
